Anybody who pits Superman against any superhero would have the odds on the Man of Steel. He is after all Superman. He has super-strength, he can fly, he has an x-ray vision, he has a freeze breathe, he is faster than a bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, and he’s indestructible too.
Apparently, it is not to be the case in the upcoming movie based on DC Comics “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” because word has it that the characters in the film will be based on another classic DC Comics “The Dark Knight Returns” wherein the Caped Crusader handily beat the man from Krypton.
According to Venture Capital Post, the fight between the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader starts off with Superman crushing the batmobile in one single wallop.
While in DC Comics, Batman beat Superman, it would be interesting to see how Director Zack Snyder does it in the film “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
Superman getting beaten by another superhero would be a surprise but considering the official title of the movie, where Batman is ahead of the billing, it seems likely that the Man of Steel will really be defeated.
That’s in addition to the fact that Ben Affleck as Batman is the bigger actor when compared to Henry Cavill, who is playing Superman, so it is likely that Affleck will get his taste of seniority in the film.
Official trailer out soon
The official trailer of “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” is already confirmed for May 15 release attached to the upcoming Warner Bros movie “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
While Warner Bros has yet to make a confirmation of the release date of the official trailer for “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice,” there have been reports late in March that the movie will really come out on May 15, consistent with the tweet of Tom Holkenborg, the musical scorer and composer, that it will likely come out on that date.
Warner Bros apparently wants the time frame from May 15 onwards all to itself since releasing the trailer earlier, would have it compete for attention and also comparison with Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” which will be showing on May 1.
As early as December last year, there have been reports that the trailer of “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” has been leaked on the TV bulletin board called 4chan. But it was just for a matter of hours as reports have it that Warner Bros pulled the plug on it even before many people could see it.
Then in January, another leaked trailer of the movie was again posted on 4chan which additionally featured Aquaman, played by Jason Momoa, The Flash, played by Ezra Miller, and Cyborg, played by Ray Fisher.
Based on reports of those who were able to see the supposed leaked trailer ahead of the rest, it opened with Superman fighting the Kryptonians amid chaos and destruction in the metropolis as Ben Affleck narrates and says: “The world has changed with the arrival of the Kryptonians.”
It then cuts to the batsuit as Ben Affleck continues to narrate and ask whether Superman is here to save or destroy the planet. And then he says “I’m going to find out.” Then the logo of “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” appears.
